Hi all, This may relate to Windows Installer in general (and not WiX specifically), but when I use ReserveCost to reserve say 100MB for Directory A, I would expect the amount of free space on the disk to be reduced by at least 100MB after installation, to signify that the overall disk space has been reduced (even though there is 100MB reserved for Directory A). However, this does not occur. Curiously, it does appear as though ReserveCost is having some effect, because in the Programs and Features area, my installer now takes 100+MB of space, while before it did not.
>From reading docs online (see refs below), I had understood that ReserveCost >will "reserve" or "section/block off" whatever amount of space I request for >the specified directory after installation, which I presume would remain >unavailable to other directories on disk until the program is uninstalled. Is this incorrect? If my understanding is incorrect, does anyone know of a way to "reserve" space for post-installation generated data files and so on?
